The AHC Emerging Leaders program
was developed to allow student and new professional leaders to participate in
AHC activities, receive mentorship, and connect with professional networking
opportunities.

Emerging Leaders will be selected
to serve for the 2020-21 term (July, 2020 to July, 2021). Master’s level
students, doctoral level students, and new professionals (having graduated in the past year) will be selected as
AHC emerging leaders. Recipients must be an AHC member at the time of
application and fall into the master’s, doctoral, or new professional
categories. Emerging Leaders choose an area of interest within the division and
receive mentoring related to that area. Emerging Leaders will provide a
minimum of 50 hours of service to an AHC committee, project, or task. Emerging Leaders will also have opportunities to learn the
responsibilities associated with serving in elected leadership positions within
our association. They will also receive FREE conference registration for the
2021 AHC conference.

Emerging Leaders will be
featured in our newsletter, Infochange,
and recognized at the AHC meeting at the American Counseling Association
Conference.
